As Congress races to finish its business this week for the year, President Bush is trying to force Congress to back down on several choice-related issues.

There are just a few simple things that Congress can do to help improve women's lives and health: repeal the global gag rule, increase funding for family-planning programs, and improve "abstinence-only" programs so they'll be less harmful to teens.

But President Bush is threatening to veto legislation over these issues, and while leadership in Congress is now in pro-choice hands, the numbers are still stacked against us. Members of Congress need to hear that people like you care about these issues.

Please just take a minute to tell Congress we've come too far to give up. Please click on the link below to urge your members of Congress to support these commonsense goals as they finish the year's session.

Sadly, unless 2/3 of Congress is pro-choice, we won't get anywhere, simply because Bush thinks that HIS beliefs must apply to everyone in the US, not to mention the entire world. He doesn't seem to care about his people - at least the born ones that don't share his beliefs.

He vetoed embryonic stem-cell research because he believed it was wrong, even though it could have helped saved the lives of his fellow Americans - and even the unborn that he claims to care about when they are born. Even though he believes it's wrong, he can't do what a leader should do and actually give a s**t about the citizens, about his "fellow Americans" that he wants to protect. Nope, he has to just apply what he believes to the entire damn country. With the global gag rule, the entire world.

I love the 22nd Amendment right now.
